‎First edition of Ryle's second main work, in which he sets out to discuss true issues and dilemmas of the actual life of man.Gilbert Ryle (1900-1976) was an immensely influential British philosopher, who represented the ordinary language philosophers so strongly influenced by Wittgenstein. He was also greatly influenced by Bertrand Russell and his theory of descriptions and the conception of analysis embodied in that. Influenced by the idea of misleading expressions, which can be sorted out only with the help of logic, Ryle establishes his view of philosophy as cartography. Just like the inhabitants of a space on earth can talk about that space to the cartographer, so the ordinary user of a language can talk to the philosopher. However, in both cases the practical knowledge of the ordinary user must be transformed into the universal terms of the expert in order for him to say anything meaningful.In his ""Dilemmas"" Ryle, with the aid of the tools of the practicing philosopher, solves a number of puzzles for everyday man and makes him understand the meaning and use of philosophy in general.‎

‎First German translation of Bishop Burnet’s “History of his Own Time” covering the period from the English Civil War through the early 18th century offering Burnet's firsthand accounts and perspectives on events of his day. Burnet began writing in 1683 and continued until his death in 1715. The work was posthumously published in two volumes, the first in 1724 and the second in 1734. Although it has been criticized for its biases and occasional inaccuracies it remains an important source for the history of the era. ""Ever since the appearance of Bishop Burnet's History of his Own Time it has been the subject of great controversy. It engendered much excitement and clearly sold well in England, each volume going through a number of editions. Burnet's critics often accuse him of overstating, in his History and elsewhere, his own importance in the events of his time. While it is true that Burnet was an egomaniac, and he undoubtedly expected future historians to study him, there is much truth to his assertions. His career can be evaluated by dividing it into two, sometimes overlapping, spheres: his engagement in public affairs and his vocation as an author"" (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).‎
